Why AI recommends Hill's Science Diet in some categories and not others
AI systems do not recommend brands on popularity alone. They favour brands with clear, structured and citable information for the specific questions buyers ask. Hill's Science Diet performs strongly where those signals are present, and weaker where they are limited. That difference is Hill's Science Diet's Recommendation Gap.
